"There was some conversation about when they should do it, they might be recognized if they do it in Danville, and I think they did talk about some different locations,” Gray was told, though he hasn't heard the call. "Somewhere in the conversation my name was brought up."

Dispatch called Gray at Brothers Barbecue and informed him of what had gone down as they worked to triangulate where the call was coming from.

And that's when the story got even weirder.

“When we stepped out back to talk, the dispatcher was able to pinpoint the phone," Gray said.

As luck would have it, the call originated from just outside the door.

"The call was coming from somewhere in the parking lot at Brothers. At that time, they located the two suspects sitting in the vehicle," Gray said.
